Witches: Is it a good idea to put a Witch's bottle in the ocean?

No, for two reasons. First, to toss it into the ocean dilutes its power among the entire global sea. and last, and most importantly, to me, because tossing such a bottle is equivalent to littering the oceans. Don't you think that there is enough man-made stuff floating around and sinking to the sea floor as it is without some witch coming along and adding his/her tiny bit of "spell work" to the mixture?

At least with a land buried witching bottle, the caster can go back to it later, when the spell is no longer needed, and recover the bottle and dispose of it more properly in the MSW waste stream. It's pretty hard to do if the bottle has floated off to parts unknown or sunk in an inaccessible part of the ocean.

Mel, I tend to view ANY spell work that requires the practitioner to put anything into the environment without regard to the effects that such a placement will have upon the local bit of nature that will host the object. A stone, or a piece of food or liquid will quickly break down or add to the environment and add beneficial things to that environment. A bottle is NOT among those things, A bottle is glass, dangerous to wildlife that may encounter and break it and try to ingest it. All too often we casually place things of a spell nature in the natural world and include the caveat, "with harm to none" and we forget that "harm to none" includes the wildlife in the area as well as the higher beings (humans). So the spell itself may not be the source of harm to the living things BUT, the tools and physical components of such a spell ARE. And those are things that the Witch must ALSO assume responsibility for, in addition to the results of the spell itself. Brightest Blessings, Raji the Green Witch

A Witches Bottle is for self-protection; therefore, it should be created by an individual, and placed on the individuals property, not off of the property for the protection to work. If the bottle is thrown in the ocean, or off of your property, then the Witches Bottle is not going to work! Witches Bottles should be buried outside the front door approximately 12 inches deep in the earth, or if you live in an appartment, a plant by the front door is a good place to put your Witches Bottle. This not only protects you personally, but your home also!

Bright Blessings!

nah burying in the earth is far stronger. The sea bed doesnt quite count as earth. it doesnt neutralize the spell but it might make it weaker.

I'd do it by the book. Follow the recipe or you might make a mess.

You should start looking at mental hospitals.

So YOU caused the oil spill?
